How encouraging to read a Holocaust survivor say what seems so obvious to so many of us. Israel is deliberately starving millions of innocent civilians while also murdering them from the sky. And the world watches and does nothing.

β€˜If I die, I want a loud death’: Gaza photojournalist killed by Israeli airstrike Fatima Hassouna, who had been documenting war in Gaza for 18 months and was subject of new documentary, killed along with 10 members of her family

When was the last time the Prime Minister had anything slightly critical to say about Israel's continued genocidal murder of innocent civilians? Did he even say anything about the execution of paramedics? I find the general silence at the moment so dispiriting

Imagine a world where you never learned or tried anything new, you just kept pushing the button for another pellet like a rat.

Cool job opportunity. Would've been right up my street a few years back. Can't wait to see the old place open again.

Can't stop thinking about Reichardt's vision for Anarres!

I haven't seen her work, will investigate, thanks! Jane Schoenbrun? Thought I Saw the TV Glow was fab: visually gorgeous, eerie, allusive, if a but rushed in the end

Aw man, Reichardt would be perfect for that. I was wondering about Julia Ducournau or Lucile Hadžihalilović for LHoD could twist it in a weird body horror way. Or John Waters for the fun of it!

Another merciless day adding to 13 months & 76 years of colonial genocide in Palestine. We cannot let this become ambient violence as the backdrop to 'normal' life. Our taxes make these massacres possible.
